For those who do have a tablet PC that’s running Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 (i.e. the SP2 version), Microsoft has now released the (dubiously named) Experience Pack for Tablet PC including six new programs that they claim “will help you be more productive and creative” (some of these were previously available as unsupported downloads):

Ink Desktop – allows the notes to be taken directly on the desktop for quick and easy access later.

Snipping Tool – lets the tablet pen be used to select a portion of a website, document, or other content on the screen. Handwritten comments can then be added and the composite image pasted into another program (such as an e-mail message).

Ink Art – allows painting with a tablet pen.

Media Transfer (requires Windows Media Player 10) – allows the copying or streaming of media files from another computer (e.g at home) to a tablet PC, to enjoy access to music, home videos or digital photo albums whenever and wherever.

Ink Crossword – lets users solve crosswords on their tablet PC using a tablet pen. Twelve puzzles are included and a daily puzzle can be downloaded free of charge with further puzzle packs available for purchase online.

Energy Blue Theme Pack – previously released as a separate download, which now appears to be unavailable.
